A woman I knew once went to Rome for a holiday. She kept going back. Almost every time she had holidays she and her husband used to jump on a flight and go to Rome. She did mix it up a little and go to other places in Italy as well, side trips really though. They just loved the city.

We also loved Rome and we were only there one day! In one afternoon, Bill and I managed to walk from our hotel at the top of the Spanish Steps to the Colosseum via the Trevi Fountain.

My high school Ancient History came flooding back - well some of it, anyway, (it's been a while!). We have vowed to go back one day. I'm glad you got to see the Vatican. The queues were very long when we were there. Ciao

And now we are out of Italy. Took us a while. We counted up and realised we had been there for just on 7 weeks! So, given that it was raining and 'tempests' are forecast on Cinque Terra we have scuttled off to France and are enjoying the sunshine in Antibes. Nice places everywhere!
